3D Xpoint memory, however, is non-volatile<\/a>, meaning that information remains after the power is switched off, making it suitable for long-term storage, much like NAND Flash. It\u2019s also massively faster than NAND Flash.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3D XPoint Memory Diagram<\/p><\/div>\n That means the potential for much, much faster SSDs, drives so fast they might even eclipse current SSDs in the same way SSDs eclipsed HDDs.<\/p>\n But perhaps most importantly, even more so than raw speed, 3D Xpoint is far more durable than NAND Flash.<\/p>\n 3D XPoint technology combines the performance, density, power, non-volatility and cost advantages of all available memory technologies on the market today. The technology is up to 1,000 times faster and has up to 1,000 times greater endurance3 than NAND, and is 10 times denser than conventional memory.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The biggest issue with SSDs at the moment is that they aren\u2019t nearly as durable as HDDs and require replacing after shorter time frames, 3D Xpoint should nullify that completely.<\/p>\n Throw in the fact that no moving parts are required, unlike HDDs, and 3D Xpoint-powered<\/p>\n SSDs may be the most durable drives yet, and without any performance woes \u2013 they\u2019re faster than everything else in fact.<\/p>\n This new class of non-volatile memory is a revolutionary technology that allows for quick access to enormous data sets and enables entirely new applications.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Just imagine the potential of near instantaneous drives with massive capacities.
